This glyph will be very useful both to raiding Retribution and Protection paladins. Ret paladins generally use Seal of Blood/the Martyr in PvE because it deals more damage than Seal of Command and because does a small amount of damage to the paladin, allowing mana returns through Spiritual Attunement. The buff to Spiritual Attunement increases mana efficiency.

However, this also helps Protection paladins, especially if they're tanking content that they overgear. With the changed in paladin tanking gear focus to strength and hard-hitting weapons, Seal of Blood/the Martyr will provide more threat than it previously did, making it a valid option for threat generation. The major drawback is the damage return, but in content that the paladin overgears, this is actually a benefit, because paladin tanks are typically mana-starved if they don't take enough damage. Using Seal of Blood/the Martyr with this glyph will counter that in 2 ways, by causing the paladin to take damage and by increasing the efficiency of Spiritual Attunement.
